“What… What do you mean by that?” Harvey looked at Connor, stunned.
Connor looked at Harvey without saying anything.
“Mr. Wagner, I think Connor must have a guilty conscience now, so he doesn’t dare to let you search him. Connor is a thief!” Harvey said agitatedly to Dylan.
Dylan hesitated momentarily, then whispered to Rachel, “Ms. Wallace, you can see the current situation. Since Harvey and Connor are both suspects, 1 think it’s best to search them now!”
“Mr. Wagner, it’s illegal to search someone without permission. You’d better think about it carefully!” Rachel replied softly.
“Uhm…”
After Dylan heard this, he seemed to be in a difficult position.
He knew very well that without Connor’s consent, it was illegal to search him.
“Mr. Wagner, how about this? 1’11 search Connor. If 1 can’t find anything, let Connor search me too!”
Harvey saw that things weren’t going as planned, so he wasn’t willing to give up so easily and suggested that.
“I think your idea is not bad. Go and search Connor!”
After hearing Harvey’s suggestion, Dylan immediately agreed.
After all, if Connor and Harvey searched each other, even if Connor wasn’t a thief, it wouldn’t affect him at all. The person who would bear the responsibility was Harvey.
Harvey walked toward Connor, but he didn’t search his clothes. Instead, he walked toward his seat.
Harvey had hidden the money in Connor’s desk.
Connor noticed this as well. He looked at Harvey and said softly, “You guys really went to great lengths to frame me!”
“Frame you? What nonsense are you talking about? Who framed you?” Harvey sneered.
“Remember this. In an hour, you will pay for your actions!”
At this moment, Connor did not look nervous at all. Instead, he was very calm.
In Connor’s opinion, Harvey’s tricks were too clumsy. How could a rich kid who had inherited ten trillion in assets steal money?
However, Harvey was very pleased with himself. He knew that as long as he found the money in Connor’s desk, Connor would never have a chance to turn the tables.
The entire classroom fell silent. Only Harvey’s footsteps could be heard.
Brandon, Mandy, and the others saw Harvey walking toward Connor’s desk, and they couldn’t help but smile smugly.
May was a little nervous.
But the most nervous person was the student representative Eunice!
Eunice seemed to have realized that something was wrong with today’s incident. Harvey was so sure that Connor was the thief.
That meant that there were two possibilities. The first possibility was that Connor was the thief, and the second possibility was that Harvey framed Connor.
“There’s no need to look for it!” Eunice suddenly stood up and said.
When everyone heard Eunice’s words, they all turned to look at her. Harvey also stopped in his tracks, his eyes filled with confusion.
“I remember now. Actually… I didn’t lose the money. Instead, I have deposited
it in the bank. I was anxious just now and forgot about it…”
Eunice grabbed the corner of her shirt tightly and lied. She sounded very nervous.
Eunice did that to protect Connor. Although she didn’t know if Connor had stolen the class fee, if Harvey found the money in Connor’s desk, Connor would be labeled as a thief and might even be expelled from school.
Therefore, Eunice would rather take responsibility than see Connor expelled from school.
“Eunice, what are you talking about?” Rachel asked in confusion after hearing what Eunice said.
“Ms. …Ms. Wallace, the money was not lost. I… 1 deposited it…” Eunice stuttered.
“That’s impossible!” Harvey shouted agitatedly. During the P. E. class, he had personally hidden the class fee in Connor’s desk.
But now that Eunice said she didn’t lose the money, he wouldn’t believe it even if he was beaten to death.
“How do you know that’s impossible?” Eunice saw Harvey’s reaction and felt something was wrong, so she asked him directly.
“Why… Why do you care how I know? Anyway, it’s such an important matter. How could you forget it?” Harvey was suddenly stumped by Eunice’s question and replied incoherently.
“Eunice, you said you deposited the class fees into the bank, right?” Mandy saw the situation getting out of hand, so she stood up and asked Eunice.
“Yes… That’s right!” Eunice nodded lightly.
“But you seemed to have said just now that you returned to the classroom after your P. E. class. When did you deposit the money? And where is the bank where you deposit your money? Do you have a receipt for the deposit?” Mandy asked a few questions in a row, which stunned Eunice.
Eunice stood rooted to the ground, not knowing how to answer these questions.
“If you really deposited the money in the bank, it doesn’t matter. Take us to the bank now to withdraw the money. If we can withdraw the money, we believe you made a mistake. But if we can’t produce that money, 1 can suspect that you colluded with Connor to steal from the collection.” Mandy said sharply.
“I… I…” Eunice was so anxious that she didn’t know what to say. Tears flowed again.
“Eunice, you don’t have to explain. Since they want to search me, then let them search me!” Connor suddenly spoke.
Connor knew that Eunice was doing this to protect him, so he couldn’t bear to see Eunice being bullied.
“Connor, you asked for it!” Harvey sneered, then walked directly to Connor’s desk and began to flip through it.
After a while, he found a pink wallet under the table.
“Thud!”
Harvey threw the wallet on the table and shouted at the top of his lungs, “Connor, please explain to me now. What is this?”
When the students in the classroom saw that Harvey found the wallet in Connor’s desk, they were instantly in an uproar!
The students in the class were all suspecting that the thief in the school was Connor.
After all, Connor had undergone a huge change recently. Not only did he spend money extravagantly, but he also treated his classmates to a meal at the Brasserie Le Bernardin. He did not look like a poor student who relied on delivering food to make a living.
However, when they confirmed Connor was the thief, they all were shocked.
“I didn’t expect this Connor to be a thief!”
“That’s right. Connor is really disgusting. Although he usually looks poorly in school, I thought he was honest. I didn’t expect him to be such a person!”
“I’ve long guessed that Connor is a thief. Otherwise, how could he have so much money to treat us to a meal that day?”
The students began to discuss among themselves.
Dominic and Spencer turned to look at Connor. They seemed extremely shocked. They could not believe that Connor had done such a thing.
Eunice and Wallace were stunned too..
